“[] It’s probably 95% of successful businesses pivot. Nobody gets it right the first time. By definition because if your first idea is your best idea, then you’re probably not a very dynamic entrepreneur, right? If you say [] when I was 25 years old [I] came up with my best idea, and I didn’t have another great idea for the next 20 years of my career, something is wrong.” Jason Calacanis, TWiST Meetup, London vs. Berlin - TWiST #270 @ 45 min., Published on Jun 29, 2012; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_6h8XWfUO8
